About BNI Treatment Center - Residential Teen Treatment
Designed specifically for adolescents, BNI Treatment Centers offers compassionate, psychiatrist-led care in a home-like setting. As a primary mental health facility with the ability to provide medical detox and handle medically-acute cases when needed, BNI provides a higher level of care than many teen programs. Their team treats a wide range of diagnoses, from anxiety, depression, and trauma to bipolar disorder and co-occurring disorders.
Look Beyond the Surface to Help Teens Heal
At BNI Treatment Centers, they don’t just react to behaviors; they ask what’s underneath them. Every outburst, shutdown, or self-sabatoging choice is a signal of something deeper. With two board-certified psychiatrists who personally oversee each client’s care, they look beyond the surface. Behaviors are often a teen’s best attempt at coping, and they treat them with compassion. With a blend of behavioral neuroscience, evidence-based therapies, and holistic support, they help teens understand themselves and step into their lives with greater clarity.
Experience a Safe, Restorative Place to Recover
At BNI’s Agoura Hills locations, teens reside in semi-private or private rooms, and housing is intentionally separated for mental health and substance use clients to provide the most supportive environment possible. With a pool, jacuzzi, and chef-prepared meals, plus housekeeping every other day, the focus stays on recovery, not daily stress.
Feel Fully Supported in the Next Chapter
From the very beginning of treatment, the Director of Outreach helps families feel connected and cared for—and that commitment continues long after discharge. Aftercare at BNI helps teens transition back into daily life with confidence. Whether through ongoing therapy, academic reintegration, or relapse prevention planning, families receive the right tools and resources they’ll need for continued recovery.

Specializations
Anxiety

Adolescents

Personality disorders destabilize the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves. If untreated, they can undermine relationships and lead to severe distress.
Bipolar

Trauma
Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."
Who We Treat
Adolescents

Mild Disabilities
Adults with mild physical or intellectual disabilities receive treatment catered to their specific needs in a safe and clinically supportive environment.
Treatment Services
Residential
In a residential rehab program, patients live onsite, with access to daily treatment and 24-hour care. An average stay is 30-90 days.
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.
Intensive Family Program
Some rehabs offer intensive programs for loved ones. Group and individual therapy sessions help everyone heal, and improve family dynamics.
Detox
Detox fully and safely removes toxic substances from the body, allowing the next steps in treatment to begin with a clean slate.
Approaches
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Equine Therapy
Guided interactions with trained horses, their handler, and a therapist can help patients improve their self-esteem, trust, empathy, and social skills.
Psychoeducation
This method combines treatment with education, teaching patients about different paths toward recovery. This empowers them to make more effective decisions.
Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement Therapy (MET)
This approach is based on idea that motivation to change comes from within. Providers use a conversational framework that may help you commit to recovery.
Surf Therapy
Surf therapy promotes body awareness, mindfulness, and self-confidence. Because sessions begin with surf lessons, this treatment is appropriate for beginners.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Localized magnetic pulses stimulate areas of the brain to increase brain activity and reduce abnormal functions.

Hallucinogenic drugs—like LSD—cause euphoria and increased sensory experiences. When abused, they can lead to depression and psychosis.
